HAVE YOU GOT A GREAT IDEA TO ADD? JOIN THE CONVERSATION
MAKE BREAD YOUR BASE
“I love bread topped with salmon add a slice of lemon (you can also add cream cheese); bread, butter and caviar; bread, gorgonzola and figs; or simply bread with cheese, honey and walnuts.” – JessicaKhater
USE PUFF PASTRY
“Shop bought puff pastry is your friend! It can be rolled with different fillings to create pinwheels, or you can use it to make vol-au-vents or mini tarts – such as figs and goat’s cheese.” – _JessLDN
BUY A SHOP-BOUGHT ESSENTIAL
“Rahms 24 Mini Croustades from Waitrose & Partners are a canapé cheat code! Just fill them with mango chutney and chicken tikka or crushed peas and mint – they work with anything you fancy!” – DaisyReed
TURN UP THE HEAT
“If your guests eat fish, these firecracker prawns are delish!” – HarrietLovejoy
TRY SOMETHING FROM OUR RECIPE COLUMNIST
“There are loads of canapé ideas on the SheerLuxe site here, but one of my favourites are these blackberry, brie and thyme mini filo tarts created by our cookery contributor Alexandra Dudley. I’ve tried them, and they’re really easy to make – and look really pretty piled onto a platter.” – HeatherSteele
MAKE SOMETHING LIGHT
“Take a leaf of iceberg lettuce and fill it with some crab meat, then top it with a bit of red chilli, coriander and a squeeze of lime. They’re not too filling, and because they’re green and red, they look Christmassy too.” – LauraSpence
USE A HERO INGREDIENT
“I like to drizzle burrata with olive oil and salt and serve with chilli crostini. A crowd pleaser!” – LauraBlack
GET FESTIVE
“These Christmas canapés by Taming Twins are simple and delicious for serving up to guests. Try them with brie and cranberry or add your own concoction.” – CHB1984
CREATE A SHARING PLATTER
“Serano ham-wrapped pear and goat’s cheese canapés look fancy, but are incredibly easy to assemble, and look lovely as part of a sharing platter or party nibble.” – Lucy.Crowther01_1943
